Autobots
Team » Autobots appears in 1554 issues.
The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, are a benevolent race of living machines. They are the protagonists of the hit cartoon and comic book, The Transformers. They always fight the evil Decepticons to prevent them from taking over the Universe.
Next Transformers Series will be called "Transformers: Prime"
I was probably one of the few adults that really enjoyed Transformers: Animated
I wonder what this new series will be about
Oh yeah, I found this too. It's Bumblebee's look in this show.

I honestly support this idea!! It looks sick, sounds interesting from what I gather and honestly HATED the anime-ish/odd style of Transformers:Animated....besides, god knows it's been a while since we've seen a 3D looking Transformers....it's funny, just this week I lent my friend Beast Wars and was watching Beast Machines myself few weeks ago lol.
I have both series. Now, if only I can get Transformers:RID....and I need to get Transformers:Cybertron.
Nice update btw, director. Thanks :) I find this interesting.

Also, Animated isn't that bad once you get past the drawing style. My favorite thing about it was that it drew a lot from other series and had its own traits to add. There was Blackarachnia and Waspinator for Beast Wars fans, some G1 references, and Michael Bay movie references.
lol, yeah maybe you're right. The drawing style when I first saw it was ehh, the voice acting, storyline is spot on though.(including some of the BW voice actors like David Kaye playing Optimus(ironically, he was trying out for that role in Beast Wars but went with Garry Chalk instead and he got Megatron's voice) I'm sure you know this since I have a feeling you're a big Transformer fan given your posts and avys lol.
But I did see Blackarachnia in there, Waspinator I didn't see though. Have to check it out. Do you know if he had the same voice? Scott McNeil is awesome lol but thanks.
Not sure if it was the same voice, but Waspinator appears later in the series. I just wish he had more appearances.
Yeah I hear ya, hey director...isn't BlackArachnia bad in that series though? I know in BW, she was originally a Maximal protoform, then re-programmed by Tyranturas, then eventually saw the light of her true Maximal self+Silverbolt's guidance and love...
The story is a little different though right with BA in Transformers:Animated?
i know a few people that arent even childhood TF fans that relish that show for its writing.
and i got to agree with them, just for a television show period the writing was really good
in its day.
Yeah, in Animated, Blackarachnia is bad. Her origin in it was that she used to be an Autobot named Elita-1, and one day, she, Optimus Prime, and Sentinal Prime were exploring a forbidden planet and although Optimus said they shouldn't be there, Sentinal wanted to continue exploring, and eventually they found a crash-landed Decepticon ship and went inside and were attacked by giant spider creatures. Sentinal and Optimus managed to escape, but Elita-1 wasn't so lucky. The other two thought she had died, but it turned out that she had somehow been mutated into a half-organic half-machine being and she carried a grudge against the Autobots for having abandoned her and letting her become a freak.
quality wise i agree. even tough its less so, with the possible exception being the animated movie
G1 is still my favorite, but only in that its closer to my heart since i grew up on it and even the related
Marvel comics series. but as far as how well done the series were Beast Wars for sure. better writing, better acting (voice), better animation.
G1 was awesome too. I just felt it was really repetitive for the most part. Almost every episode was "Decepticons have new plan to steal energon. Autobots attack and fail. They regroup and then later on attack the Decepticons again and this time are victorious. Then there's a happy ending." I'm not saying it was bad, just that at times it felt as though I was watching the same thing again and again.
However, I do love the G1 comic series a lot. It's probably my favorite kind of Transformers series anywhere. I wish IDW would make more Beast Wars comics, though.

G1 Cartoons: Started it all and is the best memories event though I started watching em in 2002 as a 11 yr old....
G1 Comics (Marvel, DW, and IDW) : Best Transformers stories....
Beast Wars (Comics or Cartoon): Second Best
Armada: 3rd best
Everyother version is no good. the Bayformers aren't even Transformers so that doesn't count to me.....
I need to get Tranformers #4 on going next week....

Ohh, thanks for that explaination lol. That sure covers it up, interesting...I knew it was a different storyline but I missed too much of that show. Yeah, I agree...I think it's interesting but the BW version being re-programmed by Tarantulas then her finding her way with Silverbolt's guidance/love was better to finding her true maximal self...
I noticed in some of these series, they bring back the same characters and make predacons into decepticons or autobots maximals or maximals into autobots...lol
BTW, dude I soo agree...David Kaye's Megatron turned a lot of heads....his megatron is IMO more sinister, definitely more evil IMO then original since he wanted "every" spark in BM saga...lol, more cunning, scheming and very smart.
The classic Megatron Decepticon, Frank Welker's Megatron sounded more machine like, chaotic and "out there" lol...also smart in his own way, but I think his decendant Megatron(Kaye's) was more careful and handled things better with prep time IMO.
Beast Wars Megatron was the best in my opinion. I also really liked Megatron from Transformers: Animated. G1 Megatron would probably be second or third favorite. Movie Megatron was okay, but I think he could have been done better. Still, I enjoyed the movies as well.
Welker voices Megatron in the movie games, though. There's also an episode of G1 where I think they didn't use the vocoder because Welker sounded just like he did in Revenge of the Fallen. I loved how many technical errors the G1 show had. One time, they forgot Optimus Prime's faceplate.
lol. i wouldnt know where to start with G1 mistakes. there was also the boobage incident of course.
the G1 comic by Marvel somehow ended up with the same problem, so much so that they ended up making a contest where the reader would go through prior issues and find all of the mistakes in it.

"lol. How could they somehow make similar mistakes in the comics? That is pretty funny though.
actually i think its a TF universal constant. remember the toys also had a bunch of mistakes as
well (Red Bumblebee, Yellow Cliffjumper for example).
Yeah. The Soundwave cassettes, Rumble and Frenzy, had their colors mixed up too. Though I think the show is the one that screwed it up. I heard Frenzy was supposed to be blue and Rumble was supposed to be black and red.
lol. so in a weird way the live-action movies were actually being accurate to the series by having so many screw-ups.
you know though, and i just dont get why we're still waiting for it...
where the hell is the animated GIJOE Vs Transformers movie already?!!
Yeah. They need to make a GI Joe vs Transformers movie, whether animated or live-action if you ask me. As much as Iike GI Joe though,
Transformers > GI Joe any day. :P
I love how this thread pretty much turned from being a thread about the new upcoming Transformers show to being a thread about anything Transformers related, period. Not that I'm complaining. I enjoy getting to discuss this much about Transformers.
lol, sorry....of course something like Transformers would do that. Now, where GI Joe came from you got me lol...
Transformers is hard to talk about just one series given the franchises history. I enjoy most of them, but more certainly more then others. I look forward to this new show and who the voices will be :)
I got the GI Joe thing because CATMANEXE said that we shouldn't be waiting any longer for an animated Transformers vs GI Joe movie.
LAME!!!! troll it up in the bajillion Superboy Prime threads.
edit: needs more cowbell
